For standard interactions of neutrinos with matter bimagic baseline of length about 2540 Km is known to be suitable for getting good discovery limits of neutrino mass hierarchy, $\sin^2 \theta_{13}$ and CP violation in the $\nu_e \rightarrow \nu_{\mu}$ oscillation channel. We discuss how even in presence of non-standard interactions (NSIs) of neutrinos with matter this baseline is found to be suitable for getting these discovery limits. This is because even in presence of NSIs one could get the $\nu_e \rightarrow \nu_\mu $ oscillation probability to be almost independent of CP violating phase $\delta$ and $\theta_{13}$ for one hierarchy and highly dependent on these two for the other hierarchy over certain parts of neutrino energy range. For another certain part of the energy range the reverse of this happens with respect to the hierarchies. We present the discovery limits of NSIs also in the same neutrino energy range. However, as with the increase of neutrino energy the NSI effect in the above oscillation probability gets relatively more pronounced in comparison to the vacuum oscillation parameters, so we consider higher neutrino energy range also for getting better discovery limits of NSIs. Analysis presented here for 2540 Km could also be implemented for longer bimagic baseline $> 6000$ Km.
